Finally Dropped (56k, go for coffee)

Finally got my Springs in (H&R Sport for TL-S Part# 50106). Drop is to ~1 1/2 fingers at Stock diameter. See my sig for other mods. 1st Real Photoshoot for my car.

Hope you like 'em.




























And the dog:

Knock yourself out (i.e. Google Earth it, see where it is). I'm not as dumb as I look.

I'm surprised the drop is so subtle. How long have you had the springs on? I'm sure they will settle even furthor.. its just a matter of time.. But looks great tho!

Car is screaming for a kit!!! ;-)

Thanks, but no kit. Not digging the A-Spec front end and the rest doesn't make enough difference to matter ( ). What it's begging for is some 18" rims and fat tires.

Springs went on Saturday, so 2 days. From some angles, you have the illusion of a bigger gap because of the wheel well lining. I only wanted a moderate drop and this fits the bill; 1.4" Front / 1.3" Rear.

Here's a before and after from the same angle:

Before




After

Excellent drop where the front isn't higher than the rear, maybe it is but not much. If you are going with 18s, The gunmetal 04 A-specs are the way to go.

That's one of the things I liked about H&R; designed to keep the front down just a tad for that aggressive stance.

Those A-Spec wheels are my favorite OE wheels. I think they'd look good on this car.

Looks better in person. The car needs nothing else as it is a Type-S. I would love to see a Legend RonJon setup on that ride to really set the car apart. I think those look the best imo.

Nice photoshoot with the scenic Ballantyne in the background. I'm probably going to be moving to that area in the summer.

It was good to meet you this past weekend.

With the spring, yes. Thanks for your tips - they went in "the book" with many others.

RSB on the other hand was a PITMFA (should not have been so hard, but go figure ).


Drives GREAT!!!!


Eric, you move down here, let me know.



Thanks to all for the kind replies.

She comes flying around a corner (think Cramer in Seinfeld) and she oversteers like crazy - puts her into the wall every now and then. Has traction contol issues at launch too.


Thanks again, Mike, for helping me get these. Getting them ~week after the 1st shipment arrived, I've got to be one of the 1st with this spring.
